Cross-Validation

Summary

Splitting data into multiple train/validation folds and averaging performance across them — a more robust way to estimate how a model will generalize than a single train/test split.

How to Learn This

1Implement k-fold cross-validation on a sample dataset and compare to a single split.
2Learn why cross-validation gives a more reliable performance estimate, especially on small data.
3Understand stratified cross-validation for classification problems with imbalanced classes.
